BERKELEY — Joey Gibson, the leader of the alt-right group Patriot Prayer that canceled a rally at San Francisco’s Crissy Field last month, said Monday in an online video that his group will rally and march in Berkeley on Tuesday afternoon despite the cancellation of Free Speech events.

“There are some disgusting things happening in Berkeley,” Gibson said in a rambling 7-minute Facebook video posted Monday. He did not say specifically what those things are but said his intent is to expose “the evil that exists in Berkeley. Trust me, it will be taken care of.

“We will destroy your narrative, you will never be able to stop us.”

Gibson’s rally was called the day after a planned speech and rally by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos turned into a 15-minute bust on the Sproul Hall steps, as he signed a few dozen autographs and then was whisked off campus. And that came after a student group, Berkeley Patriot, canceled a four-day Free Speech Week that it has boasted would feature former White House top aid Stephen Bannon and right-wing firebrand Ann Coulter.

Kyle Chapman, shown in this Alameda County jail booking photo, faces felony charges of carrying a leaded stick at a protest earlier this year.

Despite all the cancellations, campus spokesman Dan Mogulof said in an email that Gibson is free to have a rally at Sproul Plaza, but that he has not applied for a permit to use an amplifier.

“We will continue to honor our commitments to the First Amendment, the security of our campus community, and the requirements of standing campus policies,” Mogulof wrote.

The last time Gibson attended a Berkeley rally he was beaten and pepper-sprayed by anti-fascist protesters and ran from Civic Center Park to nearby police. “Antifa is the reason we continue to go into Berkeley,” he said on the video.

In his online video, Gibson, who lives in Vancouver, Washington, said he would lead the Tuesday march to a location he did not disclose, where he would invite attendees to give speeches. Among those he is planning to have with him, he said, is Kyle Chapman, a white nationalist who participated in a march Sunday after the brief Yiannopoulos event.

At one point Chapman paused, spoke to others, saying that white people have been indoctrinated by UC Berkeley and other liberal universities to “be ashamed of being white.” Known as “Based Stickman,” he is charged in Alameda Superior Court with carrying a leaded stick at a protest in Berkeley in March. He allegedly hit several people with the stick. He is free on $135,000 bail.

Court record showed Chapman was convicted of felony grand theft in San Diego County in 2001 and robbery in Texas in 1991. He served prison time after each conviction.Gibson, who claims he is not a white nationalist or supremacist and says he’s against violence, has made several appearances with Chapman in the Bay Area.

“I cannot wait, it is going to be an awesome day,” Gibson said on the video. “We’ve got, like. a lotta cars coming down from the (Pacific) Northwest. I don’t care if there are just five or 10 people there. I will give speeches to myself if I have to.”
